Show HN: SwiftAI – open-source library to easily build LLM features on iOS/macOS
We built SwiftAI, an open-source Swift library that lets you use Apple’s on-device LLMs when available (Apple opened access in June), and fall back to a cloud model when they aren’t available — all without duplicating code. SwiftAI gives you: - A single, model-agnostic API - An agent/tool loop - Strongly-typed structured outputs - Optional chat state Backstory: We started experimenting with Apple’s local models because they’re free (no API calls), private, and work offline. The problem: not all devices support them (older iPhones, Apple Intelligence disabled, low battery, etc.). That meant writing two codepaths — one for local, one for cloud — and scattering branching logic across the app. SwiftAI centralizes that decision. Your feature code stays the same whether you’re on-device or cloud. Example import SwiftAI let llm: any LLM = SystemLLM.ifAvailable ?? OpenaiLLM(model: "gpt-5-mini", apiKey: "<key>") let response = try await llm.reply(to: "Write a
